My bad, Monti

[BirdGangThing]

your third free agency period has addressed the two key positions that needed to and could be upgraded while we figure out what we have in kyler murray (for what feels like the umpteenth time) - these two signings alone make our #1 draft pick not suck so much - seriously tho - i will be no longer clamoring to move up - i might even quit talking about will anderson - im hopeful about the draft now - just don't trade back lol

I feel Monti WILL trade back now.

I feel Monti WILL trade back now.

Very likely IMO.

1. Big pool of players in the mid 1st - there will be several players rated equally at positions of need. Monti has shown no problem with moving down in that scenario.

2. The way the draft board is shaking up right now, some highly rated player could very likely slip to #16 and Monti will have several teams on the phone.

3. Several rumors of multiple teams drafting behind us being very high on Campbell, the 2 TEs and the 2 CBs.

I am not in favor of trading down. If your guy is there, don’t get cute.

But I can easily see a scenario where it makes sense. Bucs, Broncos and Steelers are among the teams rumored to have favorite players. Pick up a 3 and 5 to trade back to 20. Use the picks to move back up from 47 to 30-35. Boom! Monti now has plenty of options in a large pool of players in positions of need

I agree that Monti stepped up with this latest signing. I disagree that we should trade back. THAT would be peak Monti--the chance to take the top guy, but nah, let's trade back and let other teams snag the top guys. Tired of that story, but liking this latest signing.

I agree with not wanting to trade back

But I can see him do it

If there is a difference maker there you have to get him

No playing games

Unless Monti views a trade back in the first round as a no-lose situation, I'd prefer a tradeback in the second round.

More than anything, I think we've learned to stop panicking before the first day of Free Agency even hits, haha.

I'm generally not a huge fan of trading back, but I won't be mad if we do.

Good signing. Hope they can stil afford the new locker rooms/weightrooms.

He definitely can stay true to his board which is what every GM should use FA to do. Make sure your roster is complete enough so you don't have to force issues. He may have to stay put as many teams may want to move back, but he should have options.

Not getting much attention but this could actually allow the Cards to trade up. That’s not typically Ossenfort’s style but now that option is there. Posters are accurate that this would facilitate going down as well. Ossenfort’s solid FA performance has opened the board to a wide array of potential moves.

 

[BulldogCard]

Good signing, but more work to be done. Maybe they still go DT, edge; and they'd be wise to do so. Tomlinson can help mentor and bring in Calais Campbell. That would be so important in the history of the Cards. They could actually compete for the playoffs.

id still like to trade up - you know me lol but you're right - monti can make trades a lot easier now (up or down ) with a lot less criticism - no telling who he and sears are eyeing with sweat and tomlinson signed but i wouldn't be mad at more o-line

 

[BulldogCard]

I'd trade up all day by trading down in round 1. Get 2 firsts or a high 2nd, 1st and a second.

prepare yourself

Monti filled DT and DE with two players we don’t have to wait until the rookie rust disappears.

We can now focus on new talent to shore up the positional depth.

OL and LB could use an infusion of young talent.
